The RPLIDAR A2 is a 360-degree laser range scanner designed for real-time 2D environmental mapping. It uses a rotating infrared laser and vision-based triangulation to measure distances up to 12 meters, outputting point cloud data that can be used for SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), robot navigation, and environmental modeling. The device includes self-protection features, motor speed control, and communicates via a serial interface for easy integration into robotic and embedded systems.
RPLIDAR a next-generation 2D laser scanner (LIDAR) designed for developers, robotics enthusiasts, and engineers who need reliable 360° environmental sensing capabilities. It emits a rotating laser beam that sweeps around the sensor’s plane to generate a continuous 2D scan of the surroundings. With scanning range up to approximately 8 m and a typical sampling rate of thousands of points per second, it produces rich point-cloud data that can be used for autonomous navigation, SLAM mapping, route planning, and object detection. The unit’s patented optical and motor technologies improve lifespan and stability over traditional LIDAR systems.
Features:
- 360-degree continuous scanning.
- High-speed sampling up to 8000 measurements per second.
- Patented OPTMAG technology for extended operational life.
- Self-protection with laser power and system health monitoring.
- Left-handed coordinate system for consistent data orientation.
- PWM-controlled motor speed adjustment.
- Compatible with SLAMTEC SDK and RoboStudio plugin for development.
